A water fountain filled with artificial rocks lights up with a flame at night. The space opens up to an elaborate outdoor complex of tumbling waterfalls and paths winding between interconnected pools through tropical gardens of palm trees and bougainvillea. The grand, open-air lobby is dramatically set with circular chandeliers and enormous white planters filled with tropical plants. As with most resorts of this large size, the variety of entertainment comes with the loss of intimacy however, above-average restaurants, lovely landscaping, and Spanish-style architecture impart more character than you might expect from a chain resort. A great beach, big casino, superb spa, and four bars make it an equally attractive option for adults looking to unwind and party. Large pools, diverse restaurants with children’s menus, and a supervised kids’ club make this resort popular with families. Guests at the Hyatt Regency Aruba can easily stay entertained without ever leaving the property - and many don’t.
